This is a humble "fix."
First, I sorted in "Date Created" Order. You might want a different order.
Then, I renamed each note with a number in the title in the Date Created order--1. 2. 3. etc.
Then, I created a Table of Contents note for that Notebook.
Next, I Copied Links from the numbered Notes to the Table of Contents in the numerical order.
Lastly, I sorted according to alpha-order.
I don't see changing this myself.
Now, I want the Table of Contents at the top of the Notebook.
But, the way I "pinned" the note was to change the Table of Contents to ".Table of Contents." The initial period should "pin" the note alphabetically to the top like the ".Inbox" does.
I can see "pinning" a few notes to the top of a notebook this way, or creating a short list of special notes.
I hope this helps somebody! I came here searching for a way to pin notes because a YouTube video mentioned that you could.
I don't know, but are the characters in order or in a sort order of their own, e.g., .@#$%^&*() or 1234567890?
